On the differentiability of the norm in trace classes
It is well known that the only proper non-trivial norm closed ideal in the algebra L(X) for (1 ≤ p < ∞) or X = c₀ is the ideal of compact operators. The next natural question is to describe all closed ideals of for 1 ≤ p,q < ∞, p ≠ q, or equivalently, the closed ideals in for p < q. This paper shows that for 1 < p < 2 < q < ∞ there are at least four distinct proper closed ideals in , including one that has not been studied before. The proofs use various methods from Banach...
We show that, given an n-dimensional normed space X, a sequence of independent random vectors , uniformly distributed in the unit ball of X*, with high probability forms an ε-net for this unit ball. Thus the random linear map defined by embeds X in with at most 1 + ε norm distortion. In the case X = ℓ₂ⁿ we obtain a random 1+ε-embedding into with asymptotically best possible relation between N, n, and ε.
